Pocketcoach - Anxiety Helper

The app itself is simply great. It feels like it has remedies for every type of mental issue the could be and it gives fast, kind and on point help, which I like a lot. There is however one glitch I have found so far which is in the "Automatic Thoughts" Lesson (Handling Worries & Thoughts) near the end of the lesson. The glitch is that you are not able to advance when the "I see" text appears that you are supposed to click on. I have clicked repeatedly, tried re-opening/re-starting. No good.

A really helpful app with great courses (looking forward to more on things like procrastination). I wish the app had an option to check in with Pocketcoach (like the web version) without having to do a course. It would also be nice if the steps in the course weren't locked, even if each lesson builds on eachother sometimes you need a specific strategy. It should try and address trauma, as this can be a big source of anxiety. Subtitles for audio is a must, DBT would also be nice.

The best thing about this app is it's uses a chat like with a very simple language to teach you CBT, the GIFs also gives a very human like interaction. The exercises are great, short, and straight to the point (I recommend pausing to reflect), they don't feel repetitive as not all exercises had the same voice. It's not a replacement for therapy but I think it's worth studying if it might help in lowering the number of needed sessions. Great developer team which responded to the reported bug.

The app has a very friendly AI that explains all the aspects of anxiety and how to deal with it. It backs up its statements with scientific evidence but makes it easy to understand at the same time. My only problem with the app is that it sometimes lags and I have to restart entire conversations. Otherwise great!

i think this app is mainly a fancy UI with little information on it. the whole chat with the bot could just be a block of text on a website, as we mostly only have only one option to respond to the bot anyway. and after reading some text it asks me to pay. other features seem also very similar to headspace. did not convince me at all.

I was absolutely loving the app, however from week 2 most of the relaxation training sessions won't work as it tells me I have no internet connection and should try again later (my Internet is fine). The other daily sessions work perfectly. I now have to either skip the relaxation training, try do it myself or do training from an earlier session that works. I can't find a fix for this.

I really like the style. It is very relaxing. The information is delivered in an accessible way. It is interactive, because you answer some questions and the answers will appear in the rest of the course. Mental health is a complex thing. The anxiety course uses cognitive behavioral therapy, the same technique I learned with real life therapy a year ago. Personally I didn't manage to make this technique work for me, but I think it can help a lot of people. I'm surely going to practice more.

Thank you for responding so promptly. This is now fixed. Not very good. I press the I'm ready button and the screen goes blank and is white. I've uninstalled and re-installed numerous times and the same thing happens. This is a real shame as I was looking forward to trying this apps it looks useful. If you do manage to fix this, I look forward to trying again.

Very slow at educating about social anxiety but is entertaining. I don't know if it's worth the price. I paid close to $40 and took the social anxiety course and finished in about 2-3 hours. I feel it would have been helpful to someone brand new to anxiety but it didnt help me very much. Im very dissapointed.

So compassionate, smart, and valuable with a real awesome user experience. The way lessons are conveyed thru what looks like a chat window feels like you're actually talking to someone and keeps you very engaged (vs reading). Keeps it interesting with audio, video and chat content. Love it.

Sounds like a good app, but I got stuck on the "emergency resources" page, which is inconvenient because even when I close and reopen it, it won't let me use the actual app. I will uninstall and reinstall and update my review, but I still think you should change it to have an option like "go back to app"

Thank you so much to the Pocketcoach team for creating the best anxiety app I've tried! The app makes you feel like you have a friend in your corner, explains information and concepts in ways that are easy to understand, and the developers are very kind and helpful.

If you're wondering whether an app can actually help relieve your anxiety, the answer is yes. This app is based on CBT, which can absolutely be self-taught. Plus the layout is cute and easy to navigate. Try it!

I do a course every night before I go to bed and it's a nice way to wind down and focus on my thoughts and reflect on current and past events. I really recommend this app to anyone who doesn't have a therapist but wants some guidance to help them manage their thoughts and emotions at their own pace!

This app is amazing - so sweet and helpful. I do wish they made it easier to switch between courses. But otherwise the lessons are useful and we'll organized.

After a quick and delightful on boarding I was able to go through the first exercises to help me with my anxiety. A great mental support to have in your pocket, I highly recommend it!

The app isn't working right for me. it'll have 2 options to click but I can't click either of them. It's bugged out I guess. I'll definitely try again if it updates. I can't finish my current lesson because I can't click continue or that I'm done..

This app is super friendly & helpful! It has great breathing exercises and lots of lessons to focus on different topics. I highly recommend it.

Might be useful, but didn't get past 2nd lesson before I hit a pay wall. $9.99/month or $69/year. Might be a deal for those who don't have access to CBT, but I do. So not worth the cost to me.

hi! i installed it today and i loved the little i saw ♥️ im doing the social anxiety course and it's pretty nice! the only problem im facing is with the breathing exercises, it doesn't load, just a black screen. can y'all help on that? besides that, 10/10

Once you subscribe and pay a little under 5 dollars a month its actually an extremely nice app to have that gives you the tools you need to help with anxiety and other mental things as well. Makes your life a bit more successful in handling day to day life.

This app is amazing,You get practical help and tips for an array of topics. Its so helpful and I'm feeling better as I use this app. Its not a therapy replacement but it sure is an amazing mental wellness app.

I understand the purpose of this app. in the 1 minute quiz, after I said yes to having suicidal thoughts, it wouldnt let me proceed further into the real purpose of the app. it only lets me look at the emergency resources.

Tried multiple times to install and open this app restarted phone etc. Always get a message that something went wrong and to "restart with the internet". Too bad.

Good app but some bugs. Scrolling to pick the courses is buggy, hence it's very hard to change courses to the one that I want
